An Author Who Inspires Me

An inspirational author to me would have to be Stephenie Meyer. Most people know who this is, but if you don’t she was best known for writing the twilight saga that some, maybe most people, adore. I would be one of those fans. I really think she has a unique, extraordinary type of writing. Stephenie brings so much imagery that your mind is filled with pictures after just reading a page. An example for this would have to be one of my favorite quotes from her, "Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason, for anything." — Stephenie Meyer (New Moon). This quote is a perfect example for that. She has great metaphors, like her most popular line, "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..." he murmured. I looked away, hiding my eyes as I thrilled to the word. “What a stupid lamb,” I sighed. “What a sick, masochistic lion.” — Stephenie Meyer (Twilight). There’s just something about her writing that really gets me to read more and more of her books, that’s why I consider her to be an inspirational author, she inspires me to read and write more with style.
